What are the short and long term about the Vietnam War from 1954- 1975?

Answer:

The long term and short term causes of the Vietnam War that lasted from  1955 to 1975.

    The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive war which was fought between the  North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese throughout 1955 until 1975 but it didn't  escalate until the 1960s. The north had the support of communist allies including the Soviet  Union and China, while the south had the support of the west with the United States. The  conflict was worsened by the ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet  Union. This essay will discuss how the causes of the Vietnam War revolve around the simple  belief held by America that communism was threatening to expand all over south-east Asia.   Neither the Soviet Union nor the United States wanted to risk an all-out war against each  other which led to a civil war situation in Vietnam and further impacting other countries as  well.

    There are several reasons why different parties were involved in the Vietnam War. For  the United States the main reason would be that it had a containment policy where  Communism was a highly concerned factor. Containment policy was the foreign policy  strategy that was followed by the United States during the times of the Cold War. First laid  out in 1947 by George F. Kennan, Containment stated that communism needed to be  contained and then isolated, or it would easily spread to the neighboring countries. This  spread would then give allowance to the Domino Theory to take control, meaning that if any  one of the countries fell to communism, then each of the surrounding countries would also  fall as well, like a row of dominoes. Adherence to the Containment policy and Domino  Theory ultimately led to the United States’ intervention in Vietnam. Orthodox historians like  George Herring, Neal Sheehan, and Stanley Karnow characterize American involvement in  the war as an avoidable tragedy. American policymakers foolishly exaggerated Vietnam's  importance to the United States in the Cold War struggle against Communism. If they were  more soberly assessed its true value to the economic and security interests of the United  States, recognized the popular appeal of revolutionary nationalism within the country, and  appreciated the limits of American power, then the ensuing tragedy might well have been averted.

    Before World War Two Vietnam had been part of the French Empire. During World  War Two it had been invaded by Japan.  Chi Minh was the leader of the Vietminh, a  resistance army which fought for Vietnamese independence. After World War Two Chi  Minh captured Hanoi in 1945 and declared Vietnam independent. The French tried to take  control again, but this was unpopular with the people. They were defeated by the Vietminh at  Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Peace was discussed at Geneva in 1954 and the Treaty of Geneva  agreed that the French would leave Vietnam and the country would be split along the 17th  Parallel until elections could be held. The elections were never held and the country  remained divided where North Vietnam was a communist republic led by Chi Minh and  South Vietnam was a capitalist republic led by Ngo Dinh Diem.  The Vietminh wanted to unite  the country under communist leader Chi Minh. Many of the South Vietnamese people  supported Chi Minh as they were unhappy with Ngo Dinh Diem.  War broke out between the North and South. From 1958 onwards, the South came under increasing attack from  communists in South Vietnam itself.  They were called the National Liberation Front (NLF).  Conservative revisionist historians believed military and civilian leaders failed to develop  realistic plans for achieving American politico-military objectives in Vietnam, failed to assess  accurately the capabilities and intentions of their adversaries, and failed to coordinate specific battlefield tactics with an overall strategy for securing victory.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution forbids the states to deny any citizen the rights granted by federal law. It also defines how citizenship is acquired and declares that all citizens are entitled to equal protection of the law. The original purpose of the amendment was to provide citizenship for former slaves and give them full civil rights.

Through the years however the Supreme Court has interpreted the 14th Amendment in different ways. The court has applied the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to a number of cases. For example, in 1905 the court used it in Lochner v. New York to strike down state laws regulating working hours. In 1973, in Roe v. Wade, the court ruled that states may not prohibit a woman, under certain conditions from having an abortion.

"Everyone understands how praiseworthy it is for a prince to remain true to his word and to live
with complete integrity without any scheming. However, we've seen through experience how many
princes in our time have achieved great things who have little cared about keeping their word and
have shrewdly known the skill of tricking the minds of men; these princes have overcome those whose
actions were founded on honesty and integrity.”
